Mayor Patrick ClosserBy Ciera Bierbaugh Madison Messenger LONDON, Ohio — Students at London Elementary School recently participated in Apple Crunch Day, an event designed to promote healthy eating habits while bringing classrooms together for a fun and nutritious activity. During the event, students throughout the school took a bite of an apple at the exact same time, creating a schoolwide crunch. A special guest was invited to judge which classroom could produce the loudest crunch, adding a little friendly competition to the celebration. While the event focused on encouraging students to make healthy food choices, it also became an opportunity to demonstrate kindness and appreciation. Mayor Patrick Closser’s visit happened to fall on their birthday, and teachers and students at London Elementary planned an unexpected surprise. Students from 37 classrooms signed birthday cards to help make the occasion memorable.
